PLEASE READ……..DID I BLOW MY CHANCE OF FAME?

Question by Korg o1w fd: PLEASE READ……..DID I BLOW MY CHANCE OF FAME?
Thanks for reading this. Its going to be long and i need opinions on what happened here. This is a true situation. I swear on my life and family.

I am 33. When i was 21 i was in college and met a guy who sings. He was recording in a studio that was owned by a very extremely famous celebrity legend rap producer. I want to keep his name anonomous.
My friend needed some tracks so i put together a couple and he told that famous guy about me and asked if he could take me down and use me as a producer for the project.
Everything worked out and we all clicked well. I recorded and produced 4 songs for the guy. The anonomous celebrity producer like my work and he later asked me to do some keyboard playing on his projects that he was recording with famous other artists. I did so and it worked out great. This was going on for a year. I hadnt received any money for antying . I didnt want to ask for fear that they might not invite me back and throw me out. I actually enjoyed doing all this work for them but my main focus was to eventually make a living at music producing and get paid. I didnt want to rub anyone the wrong way by asking for things. The famous anonomous guy liked my material. He later had me play a couple piano parts on his record that he put out. I put some minor chords on it and other minor things. Still no money but i enjoyed it. When the albumn came out i had to go buy it in the store. He didnt even give me a copy. I looked for my name in the credits but nothin. I called him up and asked why not? He said it was an “oversight” on his part. I was very hurt and gave up on my dream.

What should i have done in that years time.?
Should i have asked for money or contract ? Even though it was more like a intership thing that it felt like with them….
He siad my tracks were hot but he never pushed me or introduced me to anyone or published my stuff? A year before that he even introduced me to a SUPERSTAR celeberity in his studio and played my tracks for him BUT nothing! I asked the superstar guy ” is there a way to keep in touch or something here” And the producer guy said its” cool, you can get in touch with me “.
I felt like he was maybe using me or trying to keep me down

I dont know what the hell goes in in the industry!!!
CAn someone tell me what i should have done or did i do the right thing?/
I feel hopless and depressed about this whoel ordeal

thanks
this was back in 2000.
I really want to get back into the music game so im thinking about the past and feeling depressed like i could have made it back then….
Its just something i feel i can never forgive myself for…..
what did i do wrong?
